2. Review What is an adjective? What is a clause?
What is a subordinate clause?
Indicate to students of a quick review of adjectives and clauses before getting to adjective clauses.

3. Answers:
1. An adjective is word that modifies a noun or pronoun. 2. A clause is a group of words consisting of a subject and its predicate. A subordinate clause is a group of words that begins with a subordinating conjunction and consists of a subject and its predicate. It is a clause that cannot stand alone as a separate sentence since its meaning depends on the meaning of the main clause.

4. What is an adjective?
1. An adjective is word that modifies a noun or pronoun.
2. Adjectives usually come before the words they modify or after a linking verb(am, is, are, was, were, has been, are being, might have been, become, and seem).
Examples:
The small cat is happy.
The pink cat might have been frightened.
The friendly cat smells flowery.

5. What is an independent clause?
It is a group of words with its own subject and verb
An independent clause can stand by itself as a complete sentence.
Example:
He is afraid of cats.

6. What is a subordinate clause?
A subordinate clause is a group of words that begins with a subordinating conjunction and consists of a subject and its predicate.
It is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence since its meaning depends on the meaning of a main clause.
Example:
Michelle screamed when she saw the spider that dangled from the one clean bathroom towel.
Notice the subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
that dangled from the one clean bathroom towel.

7. What is an adjective clause?
It is a subordinate clause that contains a subject and verb.
It begins with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why].
It functions as an adjective modifying a noun or pronoun, answering the questions: What kind? How many? or Which one?
It comes after the word or words it modifies.
An adjective clause is also called  a relative clause or adjectival clause.
